The Birmingham Stallions have announced their cuts down to 50 today, ahead of tomorrow’s deadline. No UFL cutdown day is complete without a few surprise releases, and the Stallions continued that trend.

WR Slade Bolden
WR Myron Mitchell
OG O’Shea Dugas

Offensive Cuts
WR Slade Bolden
WR Myron Mitchell
OG O’Shea Dugas
C Cohl Cabral
Of these four, Myron, Cohl, and O’Shea were all with the team in 2023. Most notably, Cohl and O’Shea were Birmingham’s starting Center and OG, who started 10 and 9 games respectively last year. The other huge surprise to Stallion and Alabama fans was the release of Slade Bolden, but with the Stallions carrying so much talent at the position, tough decisions had to be made, as is the case with Myron Mitchell.
We are officially Slade Bolden Days until kickoff.

Defensive Cuts
DE Anree Saint-Amour
EDGE Chauncey Rivers
LB Maalik Hall
S Bubba Bolden
The Stallions didn’t cut any returning players on their final way to 50, however they did cut dispersal draft pick Anree Saint-Amour. Saint-Amour was a force to be reckoned with on the now defunct New Orleans Breakers. Unfortunately for Anree, the Stallions upgraded at all of these positions over the offseason, bringing in a surplus of NFL talent. Most notably, they just signed Taco Charlton. Simply put, there is not room for everyone on this roster, even if they deserve a spot.
#UFL TRADE: The DC Defenders are trading LB Chauncey Rivers to the Birmingham Stallions, in return for OT Jahmir Johnson, per sources.
